Dubs the favourites to advance to last four

Dublin bid to build on last week’s victory over champions Wexford when they face Laois in this evening’s Cadbury’s Leinster U21 FCquarter-final at Parnell Park.

Dublin’s attacking firepower was critical in Enniscorthy with Ciarán Kilkenny maintaining the highstandards for the county minor side last summer while Philip Ryan also impressed. Jack McCaffrey, Emmet Ó Conghaile and DCU Sigerson Cup winner Gary Sweeney are other key men for the hosts.

Home advantage should be of abenefit against a Laois team backboned by Ciarán Booth, James Finn, Kieran Delaney and Daryl Hayden.
